After Manny Pacquiao wala ng ng boxing. Nakain na sila ng UFC. They need to discover a new figure if they want to survive

Dont worry, superstars will emerge in the most unexpected time and places. Remember, many thought boxing is dead when Ali retired. When Leonard Retired. Pacquioa vs Lehdwaba was a surprise. A star is born.

One thing for sure though,

 

After Pacquiao, hindi na tatangkilikin gaano Pilipino ang boxing. Maraming Pilipinong boxer, pero kung di naman sila aabot sa level ni Pacquiao, I doubt kung manonood pa sila. Dahil lang naman sa lentek na proud to be pinoy na kalokohan na yan kaya nanonood ng boxing Pilipino. Tsaka si Pacquiao lang naman pinapanood nila talaga

seriously, naghihingalo na ung Boxing. MMA fights kasi ung mas maganda panoorin e. although piling fights nalng ang napapanood ko. not much excitement na tulad noon.

I disagree na naghihingalo ang boxing pero hindi na kasing sigla ng dati. Fighters ng nick walters and andre ward can carry boxing. Unlike MMA na puro conor mcgregor at conor mcgregor lang ang binabalita ng UFC. Pinagmamalaki ng UFC na 500+ fighters ang roster nila pero bakit puro conor mcgregor ang balita nila?

nah, I beg to disagree. MMA fighters are paid much, much less than boxers. This will cause a lot of unhappy fighters in the future. Adrien Broner gets paid more than an entire card's salary in the UFC. It does not help that Zuffa/LLC has monopolized the business and left other promotions waiting for scraps. They said they have 500 something fighters on their roster but their cards are mostly weak. Let us not even begin talking about the Reebok deal and how the UFC robbed their fighters of possible revenue by sponsorship.

 

If you look at the UFC, where are they now? They have no one to carry them except Connor McGregor and Connor McGregor. Boxing has Canelo, GGG, Ward, the list can go on. It just happens that the local networks(or network) give the UFC more TV time than boxing. Just because we do not get enough boxing on TV does not mean nothing is happening. Boxing fights get uploaded to youtube within days anyway.

Mma is growing. But malayo pa Mma sa boxing. In receipts, betting, and prize money.

sad but true. the big and athletics kids are now turning to the nba. nagiging lampa at saksakan na sila ng kaartehan. tumutumba sila sa maliliit na hawi ng kalaban.

[extrajootz]

Canelo Alvarez is worth watching nowadays especially with his potential fight with GGG Golovkin.

[Batfleck]

Canelo chickened out.

[bakedzitiguy]

mas exciting panuorin ang mma kasi lahat ng fighting styles ginagamit ng mga mma fighters. which is ironic kasi nuong unang tinayo ang UFC, ang goal nila ay malaman kung aling fighting stye ang mananalo sa labanan ng iba ibang discipline. pero ngayon naging hybrid fighters ang mga mma fighters. pero pagdating sa earnings mas malaki ang boxing lalo na kung star ka. hindi mawawalan ng potential boxing aspirants sa boxing.

[startoffbeat]

Bad news for boxing iyan. Or for the rest of the sports world.
